This is our best iPhone launch yet―more than nine million new iPhones sold―a new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”
That's ****ing impressive
When the wife ask me about buying 100 shares, I said it was too expensive (Around $70 dollars several years ago).Quote:

Yeah. I don't have to much expendable income so I only bought 12-15 shares at $70. Bought a few more in the high 500's like an idiot though.
9 million is incredible amount of phones sold and that is without China Mobile (the biggest carrier in the world) and their 700,000,000 subscribers. When that deal is announced that will be at least another 50 million iPhones sold. Quite Possibly 100 million more iPhones sold. That deal will shoot the stock up big time.
The idea of 9,000,000 Zito's running around is very frightening to me.
I'm just trying to get Zito to get over his apple hate.

"But the other, much more important factor in the iPhone’s recent sales success is that this year’s launch included more countries than last year’s. Specifically: China. In the past, China got the iPhone three months after it was made available in the U.S. and other markets. This was the first time the launch was simultaneous there and here. The lines were fulsome at stores in China, with similar reports of people gravitating toward the 5S, and the gold model in particular. Having hundreds of millions of potential new customers on Day 1 certainly helped push those overall sales figures way up."
FWIW the iPhone 5 I believe sold like 6 million units, given the estimate of 3 to 1 5S to 5C it basically puts the "premium" iphone sales aroudn the same units despite being accessible to way more consumers (just in the US T-Mobile)
Never understood why some get so bent out of shape that people like apple products.Quote:

Who cares? Why do phones have fanboys? Why doesn't toilet paper have these arguements. There is something you use every day that can cause you more irritation or relief than a version of a phone. Charmin guy here.
I love apple. Basically every electronic device I own is Apple (just broke my ipad and replaced it with a macbook pro)Quote:

I just got the GS4... it is definitely a whole new world but as I am learning it there is a lot to like.Quote:
